- Added standard error and standard deviation as value types
- Moved functions to austraits package and made austraits package a dependancy
- Renamed some of the functions that are now moved to austraits package
bind_databases
<--build_combine
convert_df_to_list
<--util_df_to_list
convert_list_to_df1
<--util_list_to_df1
convert_list_to_df2
<--util_list_to_df2
- Renamed functions still also assigned their old name, with a deprecation warning indicating the new name
plot_trait_distribution_beeswarm
,trait_pivot_longer
andtrait_pivot_wider
had been in both austraits and traits.build packages and have now been removed from traits.build- Import new austraits function
flatten_database
(had been suggested to bedatabase_create_combined_table
) - Refactoring of test functions used by
dataset_test
- Added tests using the
dataset_test
function, so it is checked explicitly by traits.build (run on Example datasets) - Minor bug fixes
- Minor updates to ontology (now version 1.0)
- Small bugfixes in dataset_test
- Add Onotology
- Add Hex sticker
As described in #134, fixes some minor issues with
- testing of datasets in
dataset_test
- generating of reports
- standardising of taxonomic names.
This is the first major release of the {traits.build} package, providing a workflow to harmonise trait data from diverse sources. The code was originally built to support AusTraits (see Falster et al 2021, doi:10.1038/s41597-021-01006-6, https://github.com/traitecoevo/autraits.build) and has been generalised here to support construction of other trait databases.
